"You see them everywhere!"
Written by John McGowan   
Tuesday, 16 February 2010 18:54

The ebulliant  Nadia Hasnaoui, presenter of TV´s popular quiz-show "Double or Quits", began when intruducing the theme which "will change the way you look at long road-trips in Norway for ever...". She was refering to the boundary signs most municipal and rural councils erect, proudly bearing their coats of arms.

In shows aired in February 2010 Ole Wiseth demonstrated his knowledge of Norwegian municipal heraldry- a passion he has borne since his childhood in Steinkjær. In the NRK programme many interesting and amusing heraldic titbits were aired. For eksemple, when  King Oscar II on 18th july 1891 was served dinner in Risør, the menu was decorated with an image of a fort standing on a rock between two stars. After dinner, the King signed the menu - and this is taken as his royal approval of the arms borne by Risør council to this day.
